Behaviour
The school’s behaviour code is displayed around the school for all to see and follow. This supports a consistent approach to managing behaviour and allows lessons to run smoothly. If any behaviour slips below expectations, staff and leaders deal with it promptly and constructively.
Holmer Lake Primary School Ofsted Report May 2023.
At Holmer Lake we have our SMARTER code. This code forms the basis of our behaviour and safety policies and is consistent across the school and classes, throughout the school day. We believe that all members of our school community should be treated the same.
Safety in School
There are several ways in which adults can help to make life in school safe for children:
- Please tell the class teacher if a different adult is to collect your child after school. A ‘password’ may be given by you to the teacher and the adult collecting your child for extra security if you would prefer.
- Please take care that the shoes that your child wears at school have flat heels.
- In the interests of safety please do not drive into the school car park if you are bringing or collecting your child. Access will only be granted if you or your child is a blue badge holder. Please park in the Mallard Pub car park, the car park to the left of the school or lay-by at the top of the drive. Please do not park opposite the school drive.
- In the interests of health and safety, dogs may not be brought into the school grounds.
- Please behave in a way that you and your child would like to be treated when on the school site.
- Any reported incidents of swearing or abusive behaviour on site may result in a parent/carer losing their right to enter school grounds.
- Please ensure that your child has a bobble to tie up their hair for P.E.
- Please ensure that your child can remove their own earrings for P.E. or they will need to cover them with tape. Only stud earrings are permitted for children to wear in school.
For further information, please see our safeguarding policies.
